Massive catch up, part 2: my MAN is 30!!

Even my catch up posts are going to be out of order...such is life, right? 

Mikey turned THIRTY on June 20. And, of course I had a surprise party planned. And, of course he figured it out. BOO. I'm not really sure how, except I think knowing me, he just expected it. That sounds bad, but I totally get it. We've been to so many surprise parties, 30th dinners, etc. he just knew (and rightly so) that I was going to do something for him. I tried to play it off that we were celebrating his birthday that weekend in Beaufort by inviting another couple down with us, apparently he didn't buy it. I also tried to say that we were just gonna meet our families for dinner on his actual birthday, since that is when we did the surprise. But, yeah...that didn't work either. Whatever, it was fun. I'll never try and surprise him again.  Turd head.

We had my brother and SIL pick us up by boat and ventured over to Liberty's for the big event.
We seriously have some amazing family and friends.  We had such a good turn out, especially considering it was a WEEK night, and we typically don't do stuff on week nights anymore...b/c you know, we are old. (duh)  Hence, the reason for the party ;-)

Party goers.
All the fam that was there!!  My mom had been invited to a girls week at the beach, so we missed her but were thankful for Mikey's family and my daddy and brother and SIL that came.
The restaurant was pretty strict on stuff....and would hardly let me reserve any tables....so I really just had to depend on people getting there early and getting a few big tables together.  So, I just didn't worry about decorating or going all out in that area.  I paid for a nice little bar tab for everyone for several hours and then people ate on their own.  It was a BEAUTIFUL night, although hot. And I sweat like a PIG (no, I unfortunately don't "glisten"...I straight up SWEAT, so my hair went up immediately, boo to that).
Collins wasn't really in the best mood that night:(  But, I think she was overwhelmed with all the people there wanting to hold her/talk to her and hot.  Luckily I planned in advance and a babysitter came and picked her up around 8.






My SIL made an AMAZING carrot cake, Mikey's fav.

I mean, really?  HOW CUTE!!










So thankful for all of the wonderful people in our life that came out to celebrate my number one guy turning THIRTY!  It was such a fun evening!!

xoxo

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
